    Networking and an Active X error message

    I am attempting to log on to my computer at work from my laptop at home. I am new to this so I hope this doesn't sound overly simple. Once I get to the Remote Web Workplace screen (from which I should be able to select from the different computers in the office) I get the following... (and...

    Illy for logo but letterhead in Word

    I've read some ideas in searches about ai. file sinto Word. Looking for some recent opinions. I have CS2 and Word 2003 with WinXP Pro. The logo that we've created is an ai. file. Part of this was brought in from Photoshop so we have one small raster element. If need be, we can recreate this in...

    Fonts not embedding properly

    I'll often make a file in Illy with text (as well as invoices from Quickbooks). I'll then Print the file as a pdf so I can email the client the sample/proof. Often the font gets changed on their end- thereby ruining the effect of our work. In the Print dialog box, I'll leave the following...

    Access 2003 and printing directly on envelopes

    I am new to Access and am just starting to build a database of clients. Sometimes I print on labels but prefer to print directly on the envelopes. I'm learning the terms, but my searching produces info on how to print on labels. I'm trying to print each record (simple name and address info)...

    Placing, linking, embedding and file size

    I just started a similar thread but felt this was different enough to warrant its own. Something just isn't clicking in my understanding of linking vs. embedding. Example for comparison: I have a 9.3mb .psd file that I place in a new Illy file. The artboard is 8.5x11. I make no adjustments...

    Placing and then Transforming an image

    I have an image that I have Placed and just linked to an illy file. If I just link and not embed the image I believe that I am saving on the size of the file. But what happens when I use the Transform Effect to then put that same linked file multiple times on the artboard? Does my file size...

    Word 2003 and reversal of Hebrew text

    Client sends me a word file, 1 page, with some Hebrew text on it (we tried this with a page of just Hebrew and both English and Hebrew). I receive the file and both on screen and print, all the Hebrew text (English is never affected) is reversed. Each line is in the correct position, but the...

    Who is using an 8550- what type of business?

    I'm wondering how other businesses or individuals are using the Phaser 8550 (or its predecessor, the 8400). Just curious really. I understand there are many real estate agents who use this printer. Who else? We make custom invitations, greeting cards, and stationery, letterhead, brochures...

    Which database program to select?

    Would this be a good place to start? If not, please direct me. I am starting my search for a database program. I will be creating and maintaing a dabase for my client. I don't think it is too demanding- list of clients with basic information. There will be some categorizing of these clients...

    Placing or Inserting a file- and then I edit original?

    I'm using 7.07 Pro. I'm combining multiple pages into one large document for print. I'm used to "placing" files in Indesign, Illy... so when I edit the original file, Ind or Illy will update the placed file or prompt me to. Is this type of function available in Acrobat? If so, should I be...

    Phaser 8550 and Paper Type settings

    I can understand that the printer needs to know the difference in thickness for the Plain Paper v. the Cardstock settings. But I'm wondering what the 8550 adjusts for when I enter some of the other settings... What does it do for the following? Letterhead? (does it need to know that the page...

    Phaser 8550 DP- a nick in the drum

    I just had the drum replaced under the extended warranty (glad I got it!). The prints were showing a blank line vertically through the page- almost no ink within the line (about 1/8" wide). Xerox replaced that and the maintenance kit. When we looked at the drum, there was a nick in the metal...

    Phaser 8550 and ethernet cable

    I have an 8550 (used to have the 8400- I'm enjoying the faster connection) that is connected via an ethernet cable to the one computer. Ethernet cable is my only option. Please direct me to the correct place if need be- not sure exactly where to post this. My dsl is connected via a usb cable...

    cmyk formulas are changing unexpectedly

    Using WinXp and CS2. This has been happening in a few different files. I've got a cmyk formula that I've entered (for a graphic drawn in Illy- not placed or copied from another program). In the latest case, the formula was something like 70/100/100/20. I print, then I go back to the file and...

    Memory- why so much more is used now?

    I have a laptop and a desktop. Both with CS2. Both WinXP (and updated). Both have 1GB. And both have been working fairly quickly, even with Photoshop, Illy and maybe a few others open at the same time. Lately, the desktop (which is only a few months old & has been far faster than the 2 year...

    8400/8550 and paper dust

    Xerox just switched out my 8400 for the newer 8550. They have replaced the printhead a few times already- I had a persistent stripes problem that would come back periodically. Short story- they didn't directly blame the media I was using, but the discussion came up. If the paper I am using (we...

    8400 Genuine ink, or are they Genuine?

    I have purchased some Xerox 8400 ink, Genuine, in the box, unopened. I believe. I have heard rumors that there are some illicit companies out there that have gone to the level of creating the xerox box and labelling and selling generic ink in this packaging. As I look at two Xerox boxes in...

    Magnetic Lasso- temporarily "release" the lasso?

    I'm working with a photograph that I've zoomed in on so not all of the image is visible. I'm using the Magnetic Lasso Tool to lasso part of the image. What I need to do is temporarily "release" or let go of the lasso so I can move the mouse to my scroll bar to reposition the photograph. Can I...

    Outlook- "disappears" upon minimizing

    Using Outlook 2003 and Win XP. Whenever I minimize the program (either by the little Minimize button in the top right corner or via the Windows logo key/m combination to minimize all open programs), the button in the task bar (the bar with the Start button- couldn't remember exactly what it is...

    Word 2003 Using Form Fields and memory error

    I'm using the Form toolbar in a multi-page word doc to do a bunch of basic calculations. I'm using the doc as quote worksheet. The purpose is to make entries and have those entries do the math. ie. enter the number of pages, enter a cost per page, it multiplies the two and I have my answer...
